On Environment:
Support nuclear power

Many environmentalists and scientists believe it will be
impossible to decarbonize the power sector and fight climate change without maintaining nuclear power, because it offers more capacity than renewables and is more reliable to dispatch since it does not rely on the wind or sunshine.

The congressional plan creates a universal, gender-neutral, national paid family and medical leave program allowing for up to 12 weeks of paid leave.

On Government Reform:
Electoral College should not be eliminated

Hickenlooper on Electoral College: The Electoral College should not be eliminated.

TWO CANDIDATES HAVE SIMILAR VIEWS: Rep. John Delaney; Andrew Yang.

Three Democrats do not support eliminating the Electoral College. Delaney dismissed the
idea as impractical. Both Hickenlooper and Yang have expressed reservations about the idea. Instead, Yang, on his campaign's website, calls for reforms to the Electoral College by "making electors determined on a proportional basis."

There's broad support among Democratic presidential candidates for doubling the hourly minimum from $7.25 to $15, and then allowing it to rise automatically with inflation, as proposed by House Democrats in the Raise the Wage Act. Even centrists like
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Vice President Joe Biden favor this. In 2016, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton favored going only to $12 (though she expressed strong support for states that raised it to $15).

On Technology:
$1 trillion for infrastructure from raised taxes

Hickenlooper on Transportation
: Pay for infrastructure through changing taxes on corporations & the wealthy.

TWO CANDIDATES HAVE SIMILAR VIEWS: Amy Klobuchar; Beto O`Rourke.

Virtually all other candidates
$1.5 trillion attempt to respond to climate change, much of which appears focused on research. Beyond that the specifics get nebulous, other than a line saying he wants some of it to go to grants that "cut commutes, crashes and carbon pollution,"
including increased access to transit options. Read more about his plan here.

John Hickenlooper has said he wants a $1 trillion infrastructure investment with a focus on clean energy and rural broadband.

Many Democratic candidates have called for bringing U.S. troops home from America's post-9/11 wars without delay.

On Welfare & Poverty:
Double the EITC (Earned Income Tax Credit)

Hickenlooper on Tax Credits: Expand the EITC.

FOUR CANDIDATES HAVE SIMILAR VIEWS: Cory Booker; John Delaney; Kamala Harris; Amy Klobuchar.

Harris is calling for a massive expansion of the EITC, including nearly doubling the income
cutoff for eligibility. Hickenlooper and Delaney want to double the EITC. Delaney also wants to make it available to people without children. Booker would increase EITC income eligibility level from $54k to $90k, boost the credit for childless workers.
